Ingredients

Scale

Base Coffee

  • 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee

Pistachio Mixture

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons pistachio paste or pistachio nut butter
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons warm milk (for mixing with pistachio paste)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: sweetener of choice (e.g., 1 teaspoon sugar, honey, or syrup)

Milk

  • 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free version)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Brew Your Coffee
    Start by preparing a strong shot of espresso or concentrated brewed coffee to serve as the bold coffee base of your latte.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Pistachio Base
    Combine the pistachio paste with a small amount of warm milk (about 2 to 3 tablespoons), whisking thoroughly until smooth and creamy without lumps.
  3. Step 3: Heat and Froth Milk
    Gently heat the remaining milk until hot but not boiling, then froth it using a milk frother or vigorous whisking to create a silky foam texture.
  4. Step 4: Sweeten and Flavor
    Add your preferred sweetener and the optional vanilla extract to the pistachio mixture, mixing thoroughly to blend the flavors and enhance aroma.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Latte
    Pour the pistachio mixture into your cup, add the hot brewed espresso on top, then finish by layering the frothed milk over the top for a classic latte presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality pistachio paste for the best flavor.
  • Heat milk gently to preserve its natural sweetness and prevent bitterness.
  • Froth milk well using a steam wand or whisk to achieve creamy foam.
  • Adjust sweetener gradually to maintain the natural nutty taste.
  • Pour ingredients slowly for attractive layering and presentation.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing the latte is not recommended, but pistachio paste can be frozen separately.
  • Reheat gently to maintain smooth, creamy texture.
